Every small village has places worth remembering | Passing through Cizhong Village in Deqin

On the way from Weixi to Deqin, there is such a small village Although most of the houses are newly built self-constructed homes And do not retain the quaint and tranquil feeling But here stands a century-old church It has also been rated as one of the ten most distinctive churches in China That is the Cizhong Catholic Church⛪️ ⛪️The church was originally built in 1867 during the Qing Dynasty by French missionaries It was later destroyed due to religious conflicts, But was rebuilt in 1909, taking 12 years to complete. Unfortunately, it was not open when we visited We could only take a look from the outside The church's bell tower has three stories The roof features traditional Chinese-style flying eaves At the top of the bell tower stands a cross Back then, the missionaries also brought over the equipment and techniques for making Gandi wine They taught the local people how to cultivate grapes and make wine, a tradition that continues to this day. So if you want to understand the history of wine here, you can go to 'Kawaka Jiu' 🍇Cizhong Wine House Taste the hundred-year tradition of naturally fermented dry red wine The owner is very enthusiastic He told us that once every household in the village made wine But now very few do However, their family's old house and wine cellar have been preserved Even though it is surrounded by new buildings Thanks to the owner's careful creation and maintenance The old house is still very beautiful, and the courtyard is full of succulents We visited the underground wine cellar Inside, in addition to the winemaking tools There are also many treasured old photos French missionaries, the look of Cizhong Village a hundred years ago, and more can all be seen here 📍Address: Cizhong Church Located in Cizhong Village, Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Right by the Lancang River, with the Lancang River scenery all along the way 🚗Transportation: It is best to drive yourself, it can serve as a rest stop between Weixi and Deqin County, just come and take a look 🎫Tickets: The church is free, whether you can enter to visit depends on your luck 💐In March, flowers are blooming everywhere in Yunnan, with peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, and pear blossoms all along the way~
